  9. CONSULTANT ROLE: What does a consultant do? • INFORMS the consumer about options available for needed medical, social, educational, and other services regardless of funding source. • COUNSELS the consumer on choices available from CDC+, based on the ADA care plan and monthly allocation. • TRAINS the consumer on responsibilities as a household employer and CDC+ Program requirements. • ASSISTS the consumer in setting goals, and in understanding and submitting accurate/complete paperwork for continued CDC+ enrollment.

  10. Consumer/Consultant Agreement A CDC+ consultant should: • Provide training to the consumer/representative; • Review the CDC+ Budget Plan to ensure it meets the consumer’s needs; and • Be available to answer questions.

  12. CONSULTANT TOOLS • Waiver Care Plan • The Personal Goal Setting Tool (PGS) • CDC+ Guidelines • Account Statement • Corrective Action Plan • CDC+ Program Office

  13. Personal Goal Setting Tool (PGS) • Required by the waiver; • Required during the CDC+ enrollment process; • Must be reviewed and revised annually or when there is a significant change in the consumer’s condition.

  14. Account Statement • Mailed to consumers or representatives monthly. • Made available to consultants online for monthly review. • Consultants need a user name and password to access the statements and information for their consumers. The CDC+ Program Office provides the user name and passwords for consultants.

  15. Corrective Action Plan (CAP) Corrective action plans are developed by the consultant and the consumer/representative to correct a problem. Examples of circumstances where a CAP is appropriate: • Overspending the budget (e.g., not having adequate funds to meet payroll or other obligations); • Paying employees with cash to avoid taxes; • Mismanagement of employees; • Inability to self direct; • Failure to comply with CDC+ Program guidelines.

  24. Savings • Consumers can allocate a monthly amount to save for items that increase the consumer’s independence. • The development of savings must be tied to the Personal Goal Setting Tool. • An appropriate savings code must be on the consumer’s CDC+ Budget Plan before purchasing the item. • Consumers should always have an emergency back-up plan for needed services.

Change Form • The Change Form is the most important form the consultants will use to keep the CDC+ Program Office informed of consumer changes. • It is crucial that the consultant submit a Change Form to the CDC+ Program Office as soon as the consultant becomes aware of a change of address, hospitalization, or death of a consumer.
